Evil UBI!
I just don't understand the painting of UBI as evil. They make any of this possible, and UBI has maintained a commitment to a game which can't be called a cash cow by any means. My brother is a NASCAR 2003 wizard. He took one look at SH4 and said that nothing that complicated could be fun.
Uh, folks, NASCAR 2003 was too real for the market. Obviously we're several steps up the ladder of complexity from that. This adds up to a game with only marginal commercial possibilities.
I'm glad UBI is the one who did the Silent Hunter Series. They've showed commitment to their developers and commitment to us. The game hasn't been perfect, but no similar game has ever been nor will one ever be. The first rule of business and war is a good plan today beats a perfect plan tomorrow. Business, imperfect as it is, works best at getting us what we want. Complaining about it suggests that someone knows a viable alternative. Out with it!
